JD Papercrafts: Chocolate Shadow Box

Chocolate Shadow Box

With a bit of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper it's very easy to make a small gift look extra special!

For these boxes, I've used Pretty Peacock Card & Brightly Gleaming DSP. It's such beautiful paper that all it needs to finish it off is a length of the Pretty Peacock reversible ribbon. I also think this box would look gorgeous in the Noble Peacock Paper, think I’ll try that one out!

Hope you like them

Instructions:

Base:

Cardstock 11 3/4" x 11 3/8" (30.4cm x 29.4cm)

Score on all 4 sides at 5/16", 1 5/16", 1 5/8", 2 5/8" (0.9cm, 3.4cm, 4.3cm, 6.8cm)

& on the long side at 2 15/16", 8 3/4" (7.7cm, 22.7cm) to 2nd Score line only. Turn 180 & repeat.

Cut as on the template below, noting that you will need to cut diagonally from the end of the short score lines.

Fold & burnish all your score lines, then using Multi purpose adhesive, or Tear & Tape, attach the tabs to form a box. Now fold each side so that the edge folds round & attaches (using Multi purpose adhesive or Tear & Tape) to the inside of the box base and lines up along the 4th score line. Repeat for the top & bottom.

DSP: 8 3/16" x 8 9/16" (22cm x 23cm)

Score on all 4 sides at 1/2", 1" (1.5cm, 3cm)

Cut as on the template below. Fold & burnish all the score lines, then attach the tabs to the sides to form a box. Fold the extra piece of the sides in & adhere, to form a reinforced box.
